Honor X1 TWS headset and Router 3 unveiled, MagicWatch 2 gets an Artist Edition
The Honor brand welcomes several new products the MagicBook Pro (2020) laptop, a new tablet, the Vision X1 TV and now a few more things to use around the house (or outside it).
Well start with the latest additions, but there are a couple of important updates for the tablet and laptop.
The Honor Router 3 is an affordable way to upgrade your home network to Wi-Fi 6. It will cost CNY 220 ($31/28) when it launches globally in July. It has four external antennas (that can fold nicely if you need to move the router) as well as four gigabit Ethernet ports (one of which can accept a WAN connection).

The router promises a total of 3,000Mbps transfer speeds on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Smart home functionality is built in and you can manage the routers functions through the HiLink app. The device is powered by a Gigahome dual-core processor (1.2GHz) with 128MB RAM and 128MB flash storage.

The Honor Magic Earbuds feature active noise cancellation, which is pretty great, but they cost 100. The Honor X1 TWS earbuds offer a more accessible alternative they may not have ANC, but they are only CNY 170 ($24/22). And they have great battery life too, up to 24 hours.
